First home buyers flocking to Westport

From Morning Report, 8:36 am on 1 August 2022

The town with the cheapest houses in the country is increasingly attracting first-home buyers.

The average house price in Westport is just a third of the national average and that's appealing to people who can't afford a house in the main centres and want to work from home.

The affordable housing comes with a caveat - the seaside town has some major infrastructure issues to tackle.
